I'm still not letting go of summer and am loving wearing skirts and shorts with big baggy tops and jumpers. This is all well and good until the heavens open which is what happened on Saturday while wandering the streets of Soho in London. The kind of rain you see in movies but are a rarity in real life. Stood sheltering in a restaurant doorway it suddenly hit me, no more bare legs.... maybe.

So it's quite a simple outfit, nothing groundbreaking. The skirt is a faux leather number from ASOS, along with the leopard cardigan/jacket. The jacket is perfect for this time of year - warm enough but not going to make you melt while squashed on the tube. I got this jumper from Topshop last year but it is still on the website and in store. I love it, very soft and extremely flattering. It's really baggy and is longer at the back - so easy to throw on over jeans, skirts or dresses.

Okay so i've kind of not taken this denim shirt off since I bought it a few weeks back (slight exaggeration) - for me this is good going. I've done it, i've finally done it, i've found a classic piece that is super easy to wear and really comfortable and is not a black or white tee - what more could you want?! I have already done a post on this shirt but I thought i'd upload these images anyway, it's from Zara and the link can be found in the previous post. I spent the day in St Albans last weekend - how beautiful is this Cathedral!! We also stopped off for the most amazing coffee in a cafe called the Bakehouse, they even used my favourite brand of coffee 'Monmouth coffee company' which is only really found in London.

This is a really casual outfit, my black skinny Leigh jeans which I took a pair of scissors too (best thing ever honestly feels like I have a new pair of jeans), my Topshop boots and my Mulberry. It was a Sunday and if you can't be lazy on a Sunday when can you?!

After an amazing weekend consisting of Jay-Z and Tom Odell and an awful lot of food I am seriously struggling this Monday morning. Although it was quite drizzly and cold all weekend I managed to get these images in between rain showers. I got this denim skirt from Zara last week and I love it - It can be worn through winter with thick black tights, it also looks really nice with a big thick fluffy jumper on. I teamed it with a white silk blouse from H&M Trend and my fluffy wool angora cardigan also from H&M Trend.

*note; i'm not sure why but lately all my images look really blurry once uploaded using blogger - I can't figure out why as when I edit them they look completely clear and they're taken with a good quality Nikon camera. If anyone knows why please help!!

It's Friday yay, i'm currently in London ready for Jay-Z tonight but took these images a few days ago. A very simple outfit and probably not suitable for the current UK weather (freezing cold in London today) but with a big fur coat I can't see anything wrong ;)

I got the denim shirt and lace hem shorts from Zara last week - very versatile and easy to wear. Perfect for the kind of day you wake up with 'nothing to wear' this never fails to do the job. The boots are from Topshop last season but already they are my most worn Winter piece - I haven't spied any on the high street this season that have caught my eye and these are the most comfortable boots I own so I can see them sticking around for AW13.

I spent most of the weekend in Bristol with the family - we went to see Passenger on Friday night which was incredible, he is one talented guy. We stayed at a lovely hotel in Clifton called 'number 38 clifton' which I might do a short review on in a few days.

I thought i'd do an outfit post while in Clifton and with a view like this it's hard to walk by. It was a beautiful day on Saturday so I'm making the most of wearing my favourite new purchase - these little silk shorts from Zara. Some may think they look like i've mistakenly wandered out of the house in my PJ's (*ahem, dad) but I think they look really girly & feminine - I think they'd also look nice with a leather jacket to create a more scruffy relaxed look. I know it's odd buying shorts at this time of year but I love the bare legs with boots look and while the sun is still shining, why not?!

I managed to get my paws on Glastonbury tickets yesterday in the mad crazy rush so I am one super duper happy camper this Monday morning, & if that wasn't enough I have a 4 day week. It's looking like a good one already and the prospect of Jay-Z and Tom Odell this weekend I am practically skipping to work! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend xo

Rather than my usual 'October Wish List' I thought i'd enter a little competition run by the lovely people at Bijoux Bazaar. Here is my 'style to win it' competition entry.

My Bijoux Bazaar favourite piece has to be this Tribeca necklace - a splash of vibrant orange sits beautifully alongside the delicate feminine shades of the gold and light pinks.

When you have a statement necklace like this I feel the rest of the outfit can sit back and let the jewels do the talkin'.

A pink coat, yes pink coat is a must this season (sorry not sorry I still really want one even thought they're everywhere!!!). I love this one from Topshop, easy and chic in a mouth watering salmon pink.

This lilac angora jumper will probably sit in my wish list for a little longer, firstly because it's completely sold out in my size but secondly because it's from the Topshop boutique section so a little pricey at £68 - an investement though, right?!

A leather skirt is my winter must have this season, I have a mini and a midi - easy to wear with literally anything, a baggy jumper, a blouse tucked in or a simple tee. I love this faux leather skirt from Zara and at £29.99 what's not to love?

These little booties with the most amazing gold heels are from 'and other stories' and can be found here. At £98 I think these are the perfect winter item, smart but easy to wear with any outfit - this length boot is also flattering to all different leg shapes.

Finally, no outfit is complete without a little fur. A cossack hat like this is my must have each winter, rather than a thick bobble hat I would always opt for this slightly more glamorous option - it also just finishes an outfit off.
